B. COLUMN REINFORCEMENT DETAILS

11 CHAPTER B: COLUMN REINFORCEMENT DETAILS In the field I and II are the two directions horizontal and vertical according to the local axes of the pole. (1) and (2) relate to the beam members coinciding at the pole node. Simple cases such as belong to (1), while if more members coincide at the pole in the same direction then we have case (2). Select the Address and press the Default button. The program automatically fills in corresponding fields for the selected address. So the dimensions of the elements that exist in the node are filled in. For the column, the area of the vertical reinforcement of the column As for the selected direction and the corresponding horizontal connectors are indicated and for the beams, As upper is the cross-section of the upper reinforcement of the beam, As lower is the cross-section of the lower reinforcement of the beam. Press the Calculate button And fill in the blank field with the results of the Node Check for the selected Address and for each combination.
